Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), complement activation occurs in both the systemic circulation and in situ (glomerular). A recent IgAN-genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified 1q32 as an IgAN susceptible locus that contained the complement regulatory protein coding gene complement factor H (CFH). Here, we explored the combined genetic effects of coding and noncoding variants in CFH,...
